RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan has her Republican opponent right where she wants him geographically — and, therefore, politically.
Thom Tillis is stuck at the state capitol trying to resolve a budget quarrel as speaker of the North Carolina House. It's a spot that helps Hagan emphasize Tillis' role leading a Republican-controlled state government that Democrats contend has gone overboard with conservative zeal by restricting access to abortion and the voting booth while cutting corporate taxes and slashing spending on schools.
Drinking coffee this past week from a hand-grenade-shaped mug in his no-frills legislative office, he's got his own message in his campaign to take Hagan's Senate seat. "Obamacare," he said, "continues to be a big problem."
Similar themes are playing out in other crucial Senate races, as voters have four months to decide which party will control the chamber in the final two years of Barack Obama's presidency. For Republicans, it's all about tying Democrats to Obama — especially to a health care law that remains unpopular with many Americans. And for Democrats, the election is about just about anything else, especially if they can steer attention away from Washington and federal matters.
why do they keep saying so many oppose the ACDA when stats show that so many more embrace and praise it? we are being short changed by media on both sides the republican side we know is full of misinformation misleading's and out right bald faced lies, while the Progressive side is quite and gives us cricket sounds when it comes to squaring up the truth when their interviews and stories are mostly rebuked long ago but to those who come late the silence is tantamount to a thumbs up.
we have a majority in congress that proudly obstructs and denies citizens the right wing leading court that supports that agenda and the party we belong to not nearly aggressive enough or in some cases not loyal enough, we are up against it Pres. can't do it by himself we need to make some noise in our own defense because that is what it is defense.
